Xenon HID Question
Hey guys i have cheap 10k's in right now but i want to make them really blue. These are alright blue.. seem more like a 6k maybe cuz they are cheap. But what im wondering is has anyone done 20-30k hid's? ive seen some that are really deep blue that look really good, what do u know about these cuz ive seen some that are pink and some that are deep blue at same 20-30k why is that? What do u reccomend?

It really depends on the brand of HIDs. Most brands start turning purple/pink once you go over 10,000K. I definitely wouldn't recommend going over 10,000K.
When you're buying aftermarket HIDs they should have some shots of all the different color temperatures so you can compare; however, I'm pretty sure 10,000K from a good brand is about the color you're aiming for...

The higher K (Kelvin) you go the less light output you will have. If you go that high you wont be able to see anything. Personally if you want to see better at night I recommend staying with stock which I think is around 4000-4500K and the highest I would go would be 6500K and will give you a nice blue. Don't buy HID's just to have ricer blue lights like every Honda Civic owner. If you stay with what I recommend you will be safer at night and be able to see very nicely.

10000K isnt purple at all guys, 10000k is aqua and 12000k-15000k is violet, less lumens but appears brighter. the temp most people go with and like the most is 8000k which is blue.
